Welcome to the Kingdom Artist Initiative, or as I affectionately call it, KAI. My mission is to support you in building a flourishing, undivided relationship between your faith, art, and career so that you can live your fullest life as God’s artist –

where you’re thriving spiritually, creatively, and vocationally as you engage in the creative marketplace and in God’s full purpose for your life in art.
